2013, as UN IGME’s 2025 release gives it · stored as published, never rewritten

The neonatal mortality rate is how many babies out of every thousand born alive die in their first 28 days. Most deaths in the first year of life happen in this first month, which makes it the measure most directly tied to care at birth — a skilled attendant, a clean delivery, warmth, and help with breathing and infection.

Neonatal Mortality Rate, 2013 covers 200 countries on 3 measures. Pakistan is highest, at 46.7814; San Marino is lowest, at 0.9396. The middle country reads 10.8124. Against 2012, 200 values changed (28 up, 172 down), the same countries are covered.
